一席英语|老外来了|来到中国,我们被这些shock到了!(中西大不同)
00:24:43
Chinese families are tighter and closer, they sacrifice more.
What are some telltale signs of person is Chinese? 判断中国人的标志有哪些?
telltale signs 标志
How you know what can you see a people is doing, from that you can tell where they from. Telltale signs 就是从一个人的行为举止可以判断出这个人是哪个国家的、文化是什么样子的。
We will look at a funny list of top 10 culture differences that foreigners noticed. 一些外国人在了解中国文化之后,总结出了一个sum up,前10项中国人的特征,一看就知道这是中国人!
NO.10 Fight over who pays the dinner bill. 为谁来买单而打架。
fight over 为……打架
‘ I'm gonna do it!’‘No! I 'm gonna do it!’ 中国人会为了抢着买单而fight over,打到医院之后,又会继续为了抢着出医药费而买单。
In America, people offer to pay the bill. But if you say ‘no, I wanna do it’ or ‘let me do it’ more than 2 times, people will just let you do it. 而在美国文化当中,如果一个人说“我来买单吧”说两遍,那么另一方就会毫不客气的let you do it哦。美国文化里可是不存在“客气”这件事情的。因为他们认为,总有一天你会treat back 请回来的
NO.9 Drive around looking for the best parking space. 开着车到处寻找最好的停车位。
drive around 开车四处转
parking space 停车位
Actually, right now, I spend a lot of time to drive around to look for a parking space, not the best one. 而现在对于翩翩老师来说,开车到处转可不是为了找最好的停车位,能找到停车位就已经很不容易啦。
If in summer, you want to find a parking space maybe with a tree over it. 美国人同样也会去找最合适的停车位啊,尤其是在夏天,他们会更喜欢有树荫的停车位。所以这个中国人的特征并不是很typical很有“中国特色”啦。
NO.8 Take showers at night. 晚上洗澡。
take shower 淋浴
take a bath 沐浴(in a bathtub在浴缸里的沐浴)
It's showering. 下大雨了。
In western countries,many people take showers in the morning. 中国人喜欢晚上洗澡,而在西方国家,很多人都是在早上洗澡的。
NO.7 Never hug their parents. 从不拥抱父母。
intimacy 亲昵的行为,亲密
Chinese are too shy to show their love or intimacy to parents. 中国人对父母的亲昵和爱总是羞于去表达,因此从不,或者很少去拥抱父母。
Most children hug their parents. 对欧美人来说,绝大多数的孩子都会拥抱他们的父母,physical touch 是一种表达爱的方式。
中外“孝顺”的difference
Xiaoshun: It's a special word for the way a kid treading their parents when the kid is growing up. 中国的“孝顺”是指:孩子在长大以后对待父母的一个特别的词语,不可以用到其他人身上,只能用于父母。
Filial piety: It means loyalty to your parents. 英语当中的“孝顺”可以用filial piety来表达。But it's a technical word, not very common. 但这是一个术语,不是常用语。
NO.6 Have a Chinese knick-knack hanging on the rear view mirror. 在车内的后视镜上挂小饰物。
rear view mirror 后视镜
What is a kninck-knack? It's a small and cheap decoration. kninck-knack其实就是一个像中国结这一类的小饰物。外国人也会在车内的后视镜上挂一些小饰物,但不是中国结这种。
NO.5 Leave the plastic covers on your remote control. 把遥控器上的塑料袋留在上面。
remote control 遥控器
中国人会为了keep it new 而把遥控器上的塑料袋留在上面不摘掉。也有一些家庭会把原本的plastic covers换成好看的保护袋。
而在美国文化当中,大多数人可能会用cell phone cover, 但是可能不会Leave the plastic covers on your remote control。
NO.4 Like to sing karaoke. 喜欢唱K。
Most Americans don’t think about or do karaoke very much. Maybe at weddings. 美国人不太喜欢唱K, 即使是在婚礼上唱歌,也跟中国人在KTV里唱的不同。
Lots of Asian people like to sing karaoke. 唱K 可以说是一种亚洲文化,不仅仅是中国人喜欢唱,其他亚洲国家的人也喜欢唱K哦。
NO.3 Suck on the fish head. 吮吸鱼头。
Definitely not where I come from. 西方人可是不吃鱼头的哟。
In western countries, fish/ chicken/ pork serve as meat. 在西方国家,鸡鸭鱼肉极少会带着骨头上桌,永远都是以肉相见。
NO.2 Like to eat chicken feet. 喜欢吃凤爪。
In China, it's a common thing to eat chicken feet. But most Americans wouldn't even consider it. 中国人吃凤爪很常见,但对于美国人来说,他们可是想都不敢想呢。所以这是不是够“中国特色”呢?
NO.1 Drinking hot water. 喝热水。
room temperature 常温的
Most westerners don’t drink hot water. They prefer cold water or cool water, especially in the summer. 西方人喝水一定喝的是凉水,或者是room temperature water 常温水,他们更喜欢直接从水龙头接饮用水。
Either room temperature water or ice water. Never hot water.

老外来了:跟美国人同搭一辆车,这几个句子必须懂!
00:20:33
介绍: 一席出品
1. How to offer a ride 如何表达捎对方一程
没车的外国人,其实,特别希望有人能开车捎着他/她,所以,安全情况下,完全可以直接询问!
For most foreigners really just asking them directly it's not inappropriate. 对于大多数外国人来说,直接询问没有什么不合适的。
* asking them directly 直接询问
inappropriate /‘ɪnə’proprɪət/ 不合适的
我们可以这样问:
* Hey, do you need a ride ? 需要捎着你吗? * Hey, Can I offer you a ride? 我能捎你回家吗?
这样表达简单,明了!!
通常情况下,如果外国朋友没有车时,他们是期待被捎一程哒 .They’re hoping for it �
2. positions in the car 坐在哪儿
a.坐副驾驶吧:
* You can sit by the driver 坐在驾驶旁边
* You can sit the front passenger / you can sit in the front 坐在乘客的前面
* Shotgun ( n.副驾驶 最地道表达,比较口语化)
I’m riding shotgun /I have shotgun/I’ve got shotgun/I’m in shotgun 我坐在副驾驶
b. 坐后排吧:
* You can sit in the back 你可以坐在后面 * I will sit in the back 我坐在后面
* I get the window / you can sit by the window 我坐在靠窗的位置
如果车内人比较多,你可以说 I’ll sit in the middle 我坐在中间
3. giving directions 在路上如何指方向
我们需知道:
cardinal directions 基本方向 north south east and west 上北下南左西右东
If I don't know the direction I'm going in the right and left are meaningless.如果搞不懂基本方向,向左、向右就显得毫无意义。
日常生活实用表达:
基本款:
* go toward north =head north 往北 * go towards south= head south 往南 * Turn left 左转 * Turn right 右转
升级款:
下一个路口左转:
* take the second turn on the left * turn left on the second street / turn left at the second street * Turn left at the next intersection (有红绿灯的十字路口)
下下个路口左(右)转:
* Take the third turn on the left (左转) * Take the third turn on the right (右转)
直行:
* Go along * Go straight
掉头:
make / take a U-turn
靠边停车:
* park on the side * Go into the parking lot parking lot 停车区
在这停一下:
* Can you wait here? * Can you stop here?
小心,不要闯红灯
* Be careful , don’t passed through the red light! * Do not run the red light!
4. Small talk 聊点啥 美国人都喜欢这么问,但只是问问而已,并不真的care 你的answer. So don’t talk too much 不要掏心掏肺地说太多哦
聊天也要看关系:
Didi (打车): don’t talk 不用聊 One time friend(泛泛之交) : weather, sports ,hobbies close: deep topic 深一点的话题
建议:
与外国人交流时,Don’t make assumption, it’s better to ask 不要主观臆断,要多问问题.这种方式 easily to build a relationship 更容易建立关系。
今天的课程超级实用,你们记住了吗?

老外来了:英文电影里,黑帮老大从不轻易与人握手!为什么?
00:13:47
介绍: 一席英语出品
主播:Win(美国) 翩翩(中国)
歌曲:Hero
Greetings That Require Physical Contact
1. 跟外国人见面,怎么问安?握手?拥抱?亲亲?亲几下?
电影中,西方人问安时会kissing on the cheek (脸颊上亲一下), In the bible, kissing was much more common.在圣经中,我们也会经常看到这种亲嘴问安的方式。
Even between men.甚至男人之间也如此
因此我们会puzzled(迷惑): Puzzle 迷惑 Hug 拥抱 Handshake 握手
这几种问安方式到底有什么不同和讲究呢?
2. 重要概念:
Low context culture 低语境
High context culture 高语境
如何判断高低语境? 靠两点: Tone of voice:语气 Body language :肢体语言
China and most Asian cultures are very high context 中国是最高语境国家!
Germany is a lower context culture 德国是表达最直接的国家
让我们看看 Low contents 最低语境(表达最直接)排名情况
2. 最常见的西方礼仪: 握手
* The handshake is good to start with because it’s not too intimate(亲密)
* You can never go wrong with the handshake. Few people will refuse one. 握手不会出错,一般情况下握手是没人拒绝的。
油腻大叔 : creepy uncle dirty old man
Win 说——-特朗普 就是一个creep uncle 哈哈哈哈 好直接
3. 握手要注意:Something you need to pay attention
a. Your thumb should be touching each other, meat between thumb and forefinger 双方的大拇指和食指的肉要贴合在一起。
b. a good strong grip. 强有力的握手
如果握手不够有力,你完全可以这样补救:
That was a weak handshake, let’s redo it! 这样直接讲出来,非但不尬,而且能够展示你对对方的一种在意。
4. 握手这个礼节,是怎么来的?
为了表示和平a sign of peace:
握手时,都是伸出每个人的 dominant hand(常用的手),这只手也叫做: weapon hand 武器手
* 握手时就表示: I offer that you’re protected. 你是安全的。(因为我手里没有武器。)
比如,在Gangster movies 黑帮电影,head bosses 老大们见面不会轻易握手,一旦握手,就是一个big sign!
That’s their way to show peace. 这是他们表达和平的方式。

老外来了:我们,为什么爱健身?
00:15:50
主播:Alan(美国) 翩翩(中国) 歌曲:Here With You - Asher Book
Many people are becoming interested in working out! Do you do it? Do you like it?
1. Your figure shows your class? 你的身材就代表了你的社会阶层吗?
In American culture, you can rich or poor and still be overweight. 在美国,无论你贫富,都可能会胖哦。(其实哪个国家的人都一样啦)
In general, people with more money tend to be healthier or slimmer, because they can afford healthy food. 但是通常来说,wealthy people物质条件比较好的人会有充足的钱来获得更好的食物。
Is it nothing with working out? 所以物质条件比较好的人通常不会胖真的跟健身无关吗? × 当然不是! √ 健身是一种习惯或信念
Maybe wealthy in their thirties turn to be a little more exercise. 可能30多岁的年轻人更具有这种健身的意识。
Something that starts hard like exercise becomes easier overtime until it’s just a part of your day. 很多像健身这样的事情,一开始seems hard,但是它会get easier and easier, 会变得越来越简单。
千万不要do nothing, and choose easy choice! Or your life will get hard!
overweight 体重超重的 fit 健康的
2. Working out helps you to become a self-disciplined person 运动有助于你变成一个自律的人
自律的人到底是什么样的呢? A self-disciplined person is a person who can manage their time well and accomplish everything that needs to be done in a day, or at least most things. ①能够很好地管理自己的时间:manage their time well ②在一天之内能够完成大部分甚至所有的事情:accomplish everything or at least most things ③非常的高效:high efficiency
Alan 老师是个role model就在身边的幸运儿哦 他的父母都good at focusing, 非常的专注。
self-disciplined 自律的 accomplish 完成 role model 榜样
3. Make a To Do List 做好备忘录
记忆力好的人就可以做mental To Do List 记忆力不好的人就可以慢慢养成手写To Do List的习惯哦
在美国,备忘录叫Check List, 因为列出的list在每做完一项之后都要检查、画√呀。
mental 大脑的,精神上的
4. ways to working out 健身的方式
Some people like to go to the gym, some people like to use Apps. 对于健身,有些人喜欢上体育馆、健身房,还有些人则是喜欢在家用通过一些软件来健身。 二者有何区别呢? Waste money!(小区公园,你,值得拥有!)
Keep is very popular in China.
The popular one in American is called 7 Minute Workout. 美国人也用健身App哦。7 Minute Workout 7分钟健身顾名思义当然是Obviously for busy people who want short intense workouts啦!听说能够在7分钟之内让你大汗淋漓,你信不信?
Try it out! Have some short intense work out! You’ll feel better, sleep better. It’s worth it!

老外来了:外国人学汉语---老外哭诉:“我太难了!”
00:14:14
介绍: 主播:Win(美国) 翩翩(中国) 歌曲:One day
Foreigners learn Chinese Learning Chinese is not easy!
1. Is Chinese hard? 外国人学汉语难吗? It’s easier if you are Korean or Japanese. But if you are westerner, you have that fear. 对于西方人来说,Chinese is really hard.
Why is it hard for westerners to learn Chinese? 为什么西方人学汉语难? It doesn’t translate well. The grammar is very different from Romantic languages. 欧美国家的语言一般都是Latin拉丁语系,因此,欧美人学Spanish、 French、 Italian都是比较简单的,一般听一听大约就能understand。 但是汉语却是totally different!
It is easily one of the hardest languages in the world. 汉语被公认为是世界上最难得语言之一。
English is great easily to pick up. 但英语却比较好上手, because of movies. Hollywood has made English accessible and spread the culture all over the world. Win觉得英语简单是因为好莱坞电影特别多,大家都在听、学。只要我们看好莱坞电影,我们就会have contact with English。
have contact with 和……有联系,接触到 mysterious 神秘的
外国人也会受“哑巴汉语”的折磨哦 Listening is better than oral(口语). 听力要比口语好。
mental block 心理障碍 language block 语言障碍 block 被堵住
“哑巴英语”、“哑巴汉语”怎么说呢? 外国人喜欢用bottleneck(瓶颈)来形容听懂的多而能说的少。 They have bottleneck with their Chinese.
dumb/ mute English 哑巴英语 language bottleneck 语言瓶颈
2. Where is Chinese difficult? 汉语究竟难在哪里呢? 第一难:声调 the 5 tones 在英语中,tones emphasis on different words,在不同的单词上重读可能会引起意思的不同。 在汉语中,tones are unlike anything in Western languages,在每一个character(字)上重读的意思都不一样。
characters 汉字 汉语的五种声调: First/ high-level tone 阴平(一声) Second/ rising tone 阳平(二声) Third/ low/ low-falling-raising tone 上声(三声) Fourth/ falling tone 去声(四声) Neutral/ Fifth/ zeroth tone 轻声 Neutral tone is sometimes thought of incorrectly as a lack of tone.
eg: I feel sick. 我感觉不舒服。 That was sick! 太恶心了!
对Win来说,low tone(三声)和falling tone(四声)They are so close! 太像了!
Characters are exceptionally difficult to study and memorize. 汉字本身就格外的难学习和记住。
第二难:文化背景 cultural context A meme: Fang bian (方便) ① Are you convenient tonight? 你今晚方便吗? Fang bian: Are you available to meet? 有时间吗? ②I need to go to the bathroom. 我需要去方便一下。 Fang bian: use the bathroom 上厕所 ③If he have enough money? 你方便付钱吗? Fang bian: Do you have enough money? 你的钱够吗? ④Then they eat ‘fang bian mian’. 他们回家后又吃了方便面。 Fang bian: convenient food 速食品
这么多的“方便”让外国人很confused,也很头疼。

老外来了:老板不同意涨工资咋办?
00:05:43
介绍: 一席英语出品: 更多内容请关注微信公众号:一席英语
主播: VIP(澳大利亚) 翩翩(中国) 歌曲:Heart of Gold
1. What If you don’t get a raise? 加不了薪怎么办?
The best thing to do is not to worry too much ut it.能做的最好的事情就是:不要焦虑!
问你的外国老板2 questions:(仅限欧美,亚洲的模仿有风险)
What would merit a raise? 怎样才能够格加薪?
What need I do to get a raise?我需要做些啥才能捞得着加薪?
2. 西方员工的思维就是:
He has to tell you. 他得告诉你啊! That’s a common question.这种问题也是很常见啊。
He should tell you what you need to do to merit a raise. 老板应该告诉你,你需要做什么才能够格加薪。
That gives you a goal.这样能够让(员工)有目标。
What you need to be doing to make more money in this company. (让你知道)你该做些什么才能在这个公司挣到更多的钱。
3. It puts you on the radar of your boss.让老板注意到你
radar:雷达
put… on the radar of somebody:让…进入到某人的考虑范围之内
He knows that you want more money and you’re chasing it. 老板知道你正在争取。
Chase: 追逐,追求(目标),争取
这样的话,
Next time you ask等下次你问(加薪)的时候,
卫普有很确定地补充道:
—There would be a next time for sure.当然一定会有下次哟
For sure 用在某句话的句末,表示“肯定,一定,当然” It’s for sure:当然咯!
He’ll be ready. 他(老板)就一定会准备好咯!
He’ll probably give the raise, because you’ve done what he asked you to do. 因为你已经按照他说的做了,所有很有可能就会给你涨薪。
所以,西方人的思维非常简单,想要加薪,老板不同意,可以问:
1. What would merit a raise? 2. What need I do to get a raise?
老板说了What would merit a raise后,你就go out and do it出门干活,过几个月再come back to tell the boss:
This is what I’ve done, I’d like to get that raise! 交代的我都做了,我想要那笔涨薪!
这就是欧美的职场文化,简单、直接。

老外来了:孙红雷、张涵予…西方人眼中的“帅”男人!
00:18:35
一席英语出品
主播:Vip(澳大利亚)翩翩(中国)
歌曲:Better Than One
What kind of guy is considered handsome from a western’s point of view?
1. 提到“帅气”,我们首先想到的就是handsome,那么除了handsome之外,有没有其他的词汇来形容帅呢?Other words have the same meaning?
hot
adj. 形容词
一般是指figure,形容一个人的身材有点xg.
fit
In the UK, ‘fit’ doesn’t mean physically fit. It’s just another word for handsome or attractive. 在英国,“fit”可不是说一个男生身体健康、身材健美哦,它是形容一个人非常的帅气,有吸引力呢。
masculine
That really means a man is a man’s man.男生非常 manly,特别有阳刚之气的帅,就叫做masculine。
good looking
长得很好看就可以说这个男生是good looking
cute
cute也不是说男生长得可爱,而是说他长得很帅很英俊。
√ 女生形容男生cute
× 男生形容男生cute
但是仅限于女生的表达,如果男生形容男生cute,则会被认为是offensive,你冒犯到对方啦!
gorgeous
可以说是handsome的最高级啦,形容一个人长得十分惊艳。
But a man never calls another man ‘gorgeous’. 跟cute一样,也是仅限于女生去形容尤其好看的男生的。
stud
n. 名词
Stud is a man who is very manly, but also very handsome and dresses well. 当你发现一个男人特别有男人味儿,长得又高又壮,衣品还非常好,那么就可以形容他为stud。
Brad Pitt is a stud. 美国男演员布拉德·皮特就是一个富有男性魅力的人。
2. standard 那么西方人眼中的帅气有什么样的判断标准呢?
There’re 3 things:
1.The first one is physically fit. 男生帅不帅,首先要看他是否身体健康、身材健美,不要太fat,也不要太muscly肌肉太发达。
2.The second thing is good teeth, good smile. 其次,牙要好看。如果牙齿不好看,那怎么能用笑容打动别人呢?
好的牙齿不仅要straight直,还要white白哟。
3.The third thing is well groomed. 最后还要看这个男生是不是将自己修饰、打扮得很得体,而不是不修边幅。
We don’t actually have anything like that. 其实没有哦,中国人为了表示polite而常常称对方为“帅哥、美女”,而西方人往往直接称对方为“Sir, Miss”.
比自己年长一点的,或者同龄人,可以称呼Sir/ Miss
比自己年纪小的,可以直接说excuse me...
eg: Excuse me Sir/Miss, can I get some help?
It’s very impolite to call someone by their job name.
They would definitely spit in your food, if you call a waiter/waitress by their job name.
4. “硬汉”和“都市美型男”怎么说?
tough guy 硬汉
张涵予、孙红雷这样的男明星就可以说是“tough guy”。
metrosexual 都市美型男
有一类男明星可称为“ metrosexual”,都市美型男。
形容那些well dressed,而且现在已经逐渐成为一种风尚了。
Review:
handsome
good looking
hot
fit(in UK)
masculine
gorgeous
stud
athletic

Greetings that require physical contact—Kissing
西方的亲吻礼:
Cultural context: What is appropriate in each country . 文化情景 Levels of kisses 亲吻级别 Kiss pointers: how to kiss 亲吻方式
1.What is appropriate in each country?每个国家都合适亲吻礼么
其实,并不是!
看地方和国家!!
In America, it depends on what part of America, the south central part of America is much less common and as the northeastern part is more common . 美国东北部用亲吻礼会比较普遍些。整体来说,美国并不是一个把亲吻礼做为社交方式的国家。
It’s very European. Especially Italian、 Spanish、French, These are the cultures are very open with this much more common. 比较欧洲式。特别是意大利,西班牙,法国这几个国家,亲吻礼比较盛行。
2. kissing pointers 亲吻方式:
one on the right 右脸 one on the left 左脸 then on the right again 再一次右脸
比较普遍的:三下式
注意:start from the right cheek 都是从右脸开始
3. 不同国家间亲吻方式的基本介绍:
a. French culture 法国
They will do the three point kiss 。脸上亲三下(叮叮叮)from right, left, then right。(右、左、右)
这种亲吻方式出现的场景:
️Women to women 女性之间
️Women to men 女性主动
️Men to Women 男性对女性(一般很少会出现男生主动亲女生)
b. Italian culture 意大利
Italy does the two point kiss and sometimes does like a full kiss( on the lips )
* Two point kiss (叮叮两下) * Full kiss=kiss on the lips (亲嘴唇 �)
They're pretty free with the kisses, it can be one two , it can be one two three ,they may just like kiss each other back and forth 。
Back and forth 来来回回
西班牙这个国家, kissing culture 比较 free 、 open (开放,不拘束)。
敲重点:去这些国家旅游时,最好做下攻略,了解当地的社交礼仪。Especially like Belgium the Netherlands, they have these very strict rules and you might want to know about them。特别是比利时、荷兰,他们对于亲吻礼有严格的规定。
Social kiss 社交亲吻总结:

2. Kiss pointer 亲吻方式
Offer you right cheek, start from the right cheek 总是会从右脸开始亲。
但如果有人想kiss Mouth (it’s really a big deal!)该如何refuse 拒绝呢?
首先,我们要了解:
You have to realize, if a man is making a move that in many ways he's probably taking advantage of the situation。It's less about being social and more about just abusing。
如果有男生想采用亲嘴唇这种方式问好,大部分情况下是想占便宜。
我们可以这样拒绝:
* I’m sorry ,that’s a bit much for me. let’s have a side hug.

Game of Thrones 《权力的游戏》的主题曲 “Everyone knows that song and they can sing the song.” 几乎所有人都知道这首歌并且会唱。(啊哈,由此可见,《权游》真的是大火) Some people use the opening song of Game of Thrones as their phone ringer. 《权利的游戏》的片头曲(opening song)被很多人用作手机铃声(phone ringer)。 * opening song 片头曲 * phone ringer 手机铃声 My Heart Will Go On 《泰坦尼克号》(Titanic)的主题曲 When we talk about soundtrack, we can not escape My Heart Will Go On . 提到影视原声,《我心永恒》是躲不掉的了。 *soundtrack /ˈsaʊndtræk/ 影视原声,原声带
It is so classic. 太经典了,大家耳熟能详。
Blowin’ In the Wind 《阿甘正传》(Forrest Gump)插曲 Bob Dylan的《答案在风中飘扬》也是经典的影视插曲。
Songs from Douyin APP 一些来自抖音的“神曲” The so-called Shenqu (小编水平有限) has special rhythm and it is easy to pick up. And when you hear the song ,you will know what kind of video it is and the content of the video.
*rhythm/ˈrɪðəm/ 旋律,节奏 * be easy to pick up 简单易学(好上手,哈哈)
America has the same APP named Tik-Tok .
Classical Music 古典音乐 Classical music become popular in America in a new way, and it is a very interesting thing to talk about Mozart and Bach. 古典音乐在美国以一种新的方式流行起来,谈论莫扎特、巴赫是很有意思的事情。
Three Famous Classical Operas 三个据故事改编的经典歌剧 The Magic Flute 《魔笛》 Swan Lake 《天鹅湖》 The Nutcracker 《胡桃夹子》
In the movie The Shawshank Redemption, the hero plays the opera The Marriage of Figaro for prisoners.It is a very classic scene. 在电影《肖申克的救赎》中,男主角为犯人们播放歌剧《费加罗的婚礼》,这是很经典的一幕。
2 Types of Sentences: 两种类型的句子 passive sentence and active sentence 弱势句与强势句
Always try to use active rather than passive sentences. 尽力去使用强势句而不是弱势句。
Passive merely indicates that something is something. 我们谈论的passive sentence并不是狭义上的被动句,而是陈述“什么是什么”的句子,这些带有be(is /am/ are)。
Passive Sentence VS Active Sentence
Two Weaknesses of the Passive Sentence
1.It is . 2.And its structure prevents you from adding details. passive sentence对增加句子的细节有限制。
While active sentences utilizes a verb that adds details or meaning to the sentence. 而active sentence会使用动词给句子增加细节或意义。 A verb can make a sentence colourful. 动词的使用会使句子更加丰富多彩。
One Important Policy一个重要的原则 SHOW ! DON’ T TELL ! 展示而不是讲述!(拿出来!别说话!)
Example 1: Michael is a teacher. (passive sentence) Micheal teaches at ASeat . (active sentence)
2 benefits of the second sentence: 1.From the sentence, we can see a painting that Micheal is teaching. 2.We can know that Micheal is a teacher.
Example 2: Susan is tired. (passive sentence) Susan almost fell asleep. (active sentence) Susan almost fell asleep due to lethargy. (add more details)
Example 3: She is nice. (passive sentence) She helps elders in nursery. (active sentence) She assists elders in nursery. (more specific) She converses with elders in nursery.(more details)
Example 4: The apple is good. (passive sentence) The apple tastes good. (active sentence) The apple is healthy. (more specific) We had better tell the reason why the apple is good and in what aspect the apple is good. 最好说出苹果为什么好,在哪一方面(aspect)好。
Example 5: 赞美一个boy帅怎么说? He is handsome.(passive sentence) 这句子简直弱!爆!了! His tall nose glistens under the sun, and his large eyes charms women in the street. He bites his lips shaped like juicy cherry.

1)Dictionary.com 风靡外国学生圈的词典app

翩翩推荐的两款词典:
* Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English 5th Edition (朗文当代高级英语辞典第五版)
所有的学习型词典中,LDOCE5是很业界良心的一本:
a. 收词量大,例句多,各种搭配和用法举例也非常用心。 b. 单词词源,比如”jade玉”这个单词,它的解释: A hard ,usually green stone often used to make jewelry . 下面会有词源,告诉你这个词是从哪里来的: Jade来自早期西班牙语,那时候人们believed that jade cures pain in the kidney.玉石可以治愈肾上的疼痛。 c.LDOCE5最感人的:单词的例句都带真人发音! d. 词典还具有COLLOCATIONS(搭配功能),对写作很有帮助。
比如obedient, 除了告诉你可以做形容词 an obedient student, 还会给你拓展一下: 在写英语书信时,可以用your obedient servant来做结束语。
There is no one perfect dictionary. I would recommend you to try different ones and choose the one that works best for you. 留言告诉我们,你的手机里,安装了什么词典? 如有词典相关问题,请到公众号“一席文化”本篇推送下,留言提问,会给大家解答。
虽然英语中没有完全对应的term, 但美国人有一个类似的说法,叫做: an Instagram-worthy location(值得上instagram的地方。。值得“发圈”的地点)
